◊ DID YOU MEAN CODE?
code
Instructions for a computer in some programming
language, often {machine language}. The word "code" is often
used to distinguish instructions from {data} (e.g. "The code
is marked 'read-only'") whereas "{software}" is used in
contrast with "{hardware}" and may consist of more than just
code.
